Ham: Correct - I'm NOT a "ham." I'm a licensed amateur radio operator.


In addition to the historical meaning recognized by another response,
there's another relevent meaning: Have you noticed that many operators are
not only overweight but actually obese. Maybe they are "hams" - they
certainly are pigs! Their fat proves such.



I'm a ham.

I do public service.

I have elmer'd 6 new hams so far. And I expect to do more.

I've done hundreds of hours of public service.

I've done work which enhanced the art, at least a little.

What does weight have to do with anything I mentioned? What would it
have to do with those "hams" that showed up by the dozens ON SITE during
Katrina?
